INSCRIPTIONS ON NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS

"Pravda of Labor," 1913, September 13, No. 327.
"Northern Pravda," 1913, No. 27 (September 3, 1913)28.

"Marxism and Liquidationism. Collection of Articles on Fundamental Questions of the Contemporary Labor Movement. Part II" was published in July 1914 by the party publishing house "Priboi." In Lenin's manuscript plan of this collection are listed the articles that Lenin considered necessary to include in the collection, as well as a list of newspaper issues from which articles were to be taken (in the collection Lenin changed the titles of a number of articles). According to this plan, the collection was to consist of two parts, whose contents were announced in the newspaper "Path of Truth" No. 42 of March 21, 1914.
The first part of the collection was not published. Several dozen copies of the second part of the collection, which the publisher had not managed to remove from the printing house in time, were confiscated. The main part of the print run was successfully distributed.
Included in the second part of the collection, besides a preface dated February 1914 and a conclusion, are 14 works by Lenin: "Open Party and Marxists" (see "Disputed Questions"), "Manifesto of a Liberal Labor Party," "How P. B. Axelrod Exposes the Liquidationists," "On the Separatism of the Bund" (see "Separatists in Russia and Separatists in Austria," "Did Pravda Prove the Separatism of the Bundists?"), "Marxism and Reformism," "Liberal Bourgeoisie and Reformism," "Liberal Blindness. A Necessary Clarification" (see "Notes of a Publicist"), "Economic and Political Strike," "A Talk on 'Cadet-Baiting,'" "On the Character and Significance of Our Polemic with Liberals," "Liberal Bourgeoisie and Liquidationists," "The Working Class and the Workers' Press," "Materials on the History of the Formation of the Russian Social-Democratic Labor Faction in the Duma."
The last work has a specially written supplement for the collection — the article "Workers' Response to the Formation of the Russian Social-Democratic Labor Faction in the State Duma" (see Complete Collected Works, vol. 25, pp. 406—413). In June 1914 Lenin added a footnote to this article containing new data on collections for Marxist and liquidationist newspapers through the Duma fractions (see there, p. 412).
The preparatory materials published here in full for the first time show the enormous work that V. I. Lenin undertook to determine the composition of the collection. They reveal Lenin's laboratory for preparation of the collection and from this perspective represent great value. Since Lenin compiled these preparatory materials for the collection as a whole—that is, for both the first and second issues—but only the second issue was published, they provide a picture of the contents of the first issue as well.
In 1924, the workers' publishing house "Priboi" issued a second edition of this collection with the same preface by V. I. Lenin.

In 1911—1914 he took the closest part in the Bolshevik newspapers "Zvezda," "Pravda," and also in the journal "Prosveshchenie." After the October socialist revolution he headed the Historical-Party Department of the Central Committee of the RCP(b); was editor of the journal "Proletarian Revolution," member of the directorate of the V. I. Lenin Institute.
V. I. Lenin has in mind the article by A. Vitimsky "On 'Criminals,'" published in the newspaper "For Truth" on October 11, 16, 1913. The article was directed against the liquidationists in defense of B. G. Dansky. For more details on the history with B. G. Dansky, see V. I. Lenin. Complete Collected Works, vol. 25, p. 393 and vol. 48, pp. 215—217.
B. G. Dansky (K. A. Komarovsky) — member of the PPS from 1901. In 1911 he joined the RSDLP, contributed to the newspapers "Zvezda" and "Pravda." In 1913—1914 — editor of the journal "Questions of Insurance."
9 D. Koltsov (B. A. Ginzburg) — active Menshevik, contributor to a number of Menshevik publications. During the years of reaction and new revolutionary surge he stood on the positions of liquidationism.
10 See V. I. Lenin. Complete Collected Works, vol. 17, pp. 407—414.
11 These refer to speeches delivered on October 23 (November 5), 1913 in the State Duma by I. N. Tulyakov from the "Seven" and A. E. Badaev from the "Six" regarding the violation of the Law of March 4 (17), 1906 on freedom of assembly (see also this collection, p. 124, note 1).
12 G. Rakitin (V. O. Tsederbaum) — social-democrat, Menshevik. During the years of reaction and new revolutionary surge — one of the leaders of liquidationism; was a member of the Menshevik center, edited the journal "Our Dawn," contributed to "Voice of the Social-Democrat," "Renaissance" and other Menshevik-liquidationist periodicals.
13 Resolutions of the whole — refers to the decisions of the Fifth (All-Russian) Conference of the RSDLP (December 1908), January Plenum of the Central Committee of the RSDLP in 1910, and the Sixth (Prague) All-Russian Conference of the RSDLP in 1912 (see "CPSU in Resolutions and Decisions of Congresses, Conferences and Plenums of the Central Committee," 1970, vol. 1, pp. 248—249, 289—291, 340—341).
14 This refers to the Menshevik five-volume edition "Public Movement in Russia at the Beginning of the XXth Century" (see also this collection, p. 101, note 10).
15 P. B. Struve — bourgeois economist and publicist, one of the leaders of the Cadet party.
OK (Organizational Committee) — the leading center of the Mensheviks; created in 1912 at the August conference of the liquidationists. During the years of the First World War the OK stood on the positions of social-chauvinism, justified the war from the side of tsarism, preached ideas of nationalism and chauvinism. The OK functioned until the election of the Central Committee of the Menshevik party in August 1917.
"Credo" — a document of Russian Bernsteinians, written by E. D. Kuskova in 1899. V. I. Lenin gave a critique of this document in the work "Protest of Russian Social-Democrats" (see Complete Collected Works, vol. 4, pp. 163—176).
16 This refers to an article by A. Gin, who criticized in "Pravda" an editorial in No. 15 (101) of the newspaper of the Menshevik-liquidationists "Luch" for 1913.
V. I. Lenin's analysis of this editorial is given in his article "To the Social-Democrats" (see Complete Collected Works, vol. 22, pp. 309—311).
On the newspaper clipping of A. Gin's article "Lament over a Broken Trough" V. I. Lenin made a note: "1) 'Pravda' 1913, February 5, No. 29" and "Gin on No. 101."
A. Gin (A. Usagin) — regular contributor to the Bolshevik newspaper "Our Path," published in 1913 in Moscow.
17 This refers to changes to the law of March 4 (17), 1906, according to which it was permitted to organize societies, unions, etc., but at the same time a number of obstacles were created which practically nullified the law.
18 Additions and changes were made to the plan compiled by L. B. Kamenev.
19 Working on the second section of the collection, V. I. Lenin made the following notes on clippings from the newspaper "Zvezda."
"'Zvezda' No. 33 (10. XII. 1911)"
"'Zvezda' No. 34"
"'Zvezda' No. 36"

In No. 8 of the newspaper was published an article by V. Ilyin (V. I. Lenin) "Cadets on 'Two Camps' and on 'Reasonable Compromise.'" V. I. Lenin made an addition to the text of the article: "...Oh, businesslike politicians!..." (see Complete Collected Works, vol. 20, pp. 134—138).
20 The subtitle "(or: Where is the party?)" V. I. Lenin added to the title of his article "Poor Defense of a Poor Cause" on the clipping from the newspaper "For Truth" No. 12 (October 17, 1913) (see Complete Collected Works, vol. 24, pp. 78—80).
21 "Open Party and Marxists" is a subtitle to Lenin's article "Disputed Questions" (see Complete Collected Works, vol. 23, pp. 65—88). This article was included by Lenin in the list of articles for section III, compiled by L. B. Kamenev.
22 The entire text is written on the cover of a clipping from the newspaper of an article by V. I. Ilyin (V. I. Lenin) "Russian Bourgeoisie and Russian Reformism." On the newspaper clipping of this article V. I. Lenin made a note: "'Northern Pravda.' 1913, No. 21 (27. VIII. 1913)" (see Complete Collected Works, vol. 23, pp. 394—396).
On the last page of the cover V. I. Lenin made an editorial correction to the title of § 4 of the second section of the collection. Instead of "Strike fervor," written by G. E. Zinoviev, he wrote: "Strike movement."
23 The entire record was made on the cover of clippings from the newspapers "Zvezda" and "Workers' Pravda" with articles signed Ph. L-ko "Organ of Liberal Labor Policy" and P. Osipov "Dead Liquidationism and Living 'Rech'.'"
Ph. L-ko and P. Osipov are pseudonyms of V. I. Lenin.
V. I. Lenin on the clipping from the newspaper "Zvezda" No. 11 (47) of February 19, 1912 wrote: "NB 'Zvezda'," underlined the date and number (see Complete Collected Works, vol. 21, pp. 157—160).
On the clipping from the newspaper "Workers' Pravda" V. I. Lenin wrote:
"'Workers' Pravda' 1913, July 24, No. 10" and crossed out part of the first paragraph of the article (see Complete Collected Works, vol. 23, pp. 353—355).
24 This record is an editorial correction to the list of articles in section IV of the collection, compiled by L. B. Kamenev. There is also an editorial correction made by V. I. Lenin to the list of articles of this same section, compiled by G. E. Zinoviev. In it Lenin gave a new numbering of the articles of the section. Lenin's correction is given below:
1. Yu. K. On Strikes
2. V. I. Economic and Political Strike1
3. G. Z. Economics and Politics
4. Lessons of Life

25 Written on the cover of a newspaper clipping with an article by G. V. Plekhanov "On the Question of the Split in the Social-Democratic Faction of the 4th State Duma." Here V. I. Lenin also wrote: "Plekhanov" and "'Pravda' 1913 No. 56 (260) 8. III. 1913."
The figures possibly indicate the count of characters in the article.
26 These lines are written on the cover of a newspaper clipping with an article by V. I. Lenin "Populism and Liquidationism as Elements of Disintegration in the Labor Movement" (see Complete Collected Works, vol. 24, pp. 250—254). Here also V. I. Lenin made a note: "'Proletarian Pravda' 1913. No. 12 (December 20, 1913)."
